Lyrics
See the writing on the wall
Expressing awareness of an impending or evident situation
It didn't get there by mistake
Suggesting that the situation is intentional or planned
You won't hear these things on the outside
Highlighting information not commonly known to outsiders
Cause faith's an easy thing to break
Stating that faith is fragile and easily damaged
And oh, what if the time
Contemplating an alternative timeline or scenario
Had flown by a little differently
Reflecting on the impact of time passing differently
And oh, what if a life
Pondering the potential outcomes if a life had different experiences
Was given the chance it needs
Advocating for giving life the opportunities it requires
There are voices still unheard
Emphasizing the existence of unheard voices
And there are stories left untold
Pointing out untold stories that remain hidden
They are shut inside a chest of drawers
Metaphorically describing stories kept away, accumulating neglect
To gather dust as they grow old
Highlighting the impact of time on neglected stories
And oh, what if the time
Revisiting the theme of alternative timelines
Had flown by a little differently
Reiterating the potential consequences of time differences
And oh, what if a life
Continuing to explore the impact on a life with different chances
Was given the chance it needs
Advocating for providing necessary opportunities to lives
There are lessons to be learned
Pointing out the existence of valuable lessons for everyone
By those outside as well as in
Stressing the universality of learning, both inside and outside
What's the use in second chances
Raising a question about the purpose of second chances without an initial opportunity
If you didn't get one to begin
Challenging the significance of second chances in the absence of a first
And oh, what if the time
Returning to the contemplation of time's potential impact
Had flown by a little differently
Reiterating the consideration of different timelines
And oh, what if a life
Continuing to explore the hypothetical outcomes for a life
Was given the chance it needs
Reaffirming the importance of providing necessary chances to lives
Was given the chance it needss
Emphasizing the essential need for opportunities in life
